Snake Mountain box variation

Howdie!

I was looking at the toy section here at Snake Mountain. I have 2 of them, but the boxes on them aren't exactly the same. One has the "I am the voice of Snake mountain" and the other one says "I am the spirit of snake mountain". Also, the Starburst is different. One says you can change your voice to that of snake mountain and the other says you can change your voice to a Voice of Evil.

I have both versions that you pictured there. I can get you pics of the back of the box for the Grayskull Museum if you'd like. I just wonder if using the words "Spirits" and turNing your child's voice to evil was too much for Parents to handle lol

Thx D-compose, after some searchs I have seen that the back of the boxes is the same one between the two versions, have you one different than on this picture?:

An other example about a boxe with words changing on its reissue is the He-Man/Wind Raider Gift Set.
On the 8_back version you can read about He-Man: "Strongest Man in the universe" and on the 12_back reissue: "Most Powerful Man in the Universe"

Well, in the 80's there were a lot of [religious] folks up in arms about the "quality" of the toys that were produced. It wouldnt surprise me if Mattel changed it after complaints from parentgroups. Have you seen this video by Brad Jones:

In the 1982 Mattel Dealer Catalog, He-Man is also given the tag line "Strongest man in the universe"
